as far as brakes go, its just a matter of the overall tire size. if the new tire isnt significantly taller than stock, braking power should remain about the same.

personally on those 2 my choice would be the 2nd one



brakes, no difference between the ss and the lt or ltz

but you could always go and get some raybestos ceramic pads for the front and read and that would eliminate brake dust for you

I prefer the second one, too.

Hey, Wiz, what is the wear-life like on those ceramic pads?

well if you buy raybestos ceramic they come with a lifetime warranty, if the store honor's that, because they get it, even still if they dont probably 3 years at least, thats what i got out of the ones on my truck then i sold it and they still had about 65-75% pad on them, then the guy wore them off in a couple months (idiot!)
